Heathrow’s weather, based on the live forecast above, shows a typical London autumn pattern with mild temperatures and a risk of showers. The airport sits 25 metres above sea level in the Colne Valley, which can trap low cloud and fog, especially during calm mornings.
What does the Met Office weather for Heathrow show today?
The Met Office weather for Heathrow, updated several times daily, reflects the airport’s position west of central London. This inland location means temperatures here are often a degree or two cooler than the city centre, particularly overnight. The 10 day weather forecast UK suggests a westerly flow bringing occasional bands of rain, with drier interludes between them. Check the live forecast above for the exact timing of any showers.
How does the weather in Heathrow Airport vary across the 10 days?
The weather in Heathrow Airport over the next 10 days will be shaped by a series of Atlantic low-pressure systems. Expect a mix of cloudy spells and brighter, showery periods. Wind speeds are generally moderate, but gusts could pick up around frontal boundaries. For a wider London context, see our UK weather hub.
Does Heathrow often get fog?
Yes. Heathrow’s position in the Colne Valley means it is prone to radiation fog on clear, calm nights. This can disrupt flights, particularly in late autumn and winter when the ground cools quickly.
Is the weather at Heathrow different from central London?
Generally the same, but Heathrow can be slightly cooler and more exposed to wind. It is also more susceptible to localised fog and frost compared to the urban heat island of central London.
How often is the Met Office weather for Heathrow updated?
The Met Office updates its Heathrow forecast at least three times daily. For real-time conditions, always refer to the live forecast above or their official site.
